If you have ever seen the look of pure delight on a childs face when they have mastered a new task, then you have an idea why we value our work. More accurately defined, instead of teaching young children, we instead, provide many opportunities for them to learn valuable lessons and skills when they are ready. Our goals for young children are related to the important business of becoming independent, responsible and self-sufficient. Children love to be in charge and in control; we help them satiSFy this need by allowing and expecting responsible and respectful behavior. Many of the skills we practice during our day help children obtain these goals. As we recognize Kid Works as a childs work place, we are proud to offer a program that provides the many opportunities for growth and the desire to learn.
KID WORKS environment is designed and furnished with a wide variety of materials and settings to encourage
experimenting, exploring, discovery, and involvement. Our qualified staff is dedicated to the idea that children develop and learn best in an atmosphere that is warm, safe, encouraging, understanding, stimulating, motivating, and fun! In the structure of our daily routine, and through the guidance of our experienced staff, your child will find many opportunities to make friends, interact with a group, engage in quiet reflection, learn how to resolve coNFLict, and practice age-appropriate responsibilities.
Our developmentally appropriate program helps to prepare children for future academic learning through hands-on experience, including: creative art, music, and creative movement, science through discovery, language arts, literature and pre-math. Manipulative materials and outdoor equipment are provided for the development of fine and gross motor skills. We invite and encourage parent involvement and participation in all aspects of our program.
